I wanna say NO but look what Sumlin did with Keenum, that wasn't a one hit wonder, granted that was vs horrible defenses but Sumlin already has 3 big time wideouts coming in and with that offense he's always gonna get players hyped about playing in the SEC and playing in a uptempo offense....what is LSU's pitch to a 5 star rb? Come be one of our 5 stud rb's and run the toss dive a few times a game....Im as big a homer as anyone but I am fearful for the future...A and M is in an envious position with a great coach,great QB, great recruiting state,great conference, and a killer gameday atmosphere....

I love my tigers...but LES and this conservative gameplan is going to bite us in the rear soon because les isn't saban, we barely stretch the field and I cant imagine why any big time QB would ever wanna come to us

1) You must not have watched this year. We stretched the field plenty.

come to LSU and play in the NFL. and in that whole post you discounted why we've been good: defense. we will have no problem convincing the nation's elite defensive plyers to come to lsu. and besides all that, lsu gets basically anyone they want from the state of louisiana (yes we lost landon collins, i know), and louisiana breeds good football players every year

relative to the rest of the west, LSU has fallen back. When Saban Took over, LSU was the dominant team in the West and the nation. Now LSU is a distant second to Bama with ATM poised to make a strong push for the #2 spot. Hell they won 11 games with a 1st year head coach after being a .500 team in a weaker conference the year before.
